For the purposes of this week’s Assignment, please apply the concepts learned in assessing the biological, social, and emotional principles that affect families over their lifetime.

For this Assignment, please respond to the following:
Discuss the biological, social, and emotional issues that can impact family homeostasis in both a positive and negative manner. Select one issue from above that impacts family homeostasis in a negative manner and identify or develop two interventions that could be used to assist the family in this area.
Discuss briefly how you would evaluate the effectiveness of each intervention.

The effects of a substance use disorder (SUD) are felt by the whole family. The family context holds information about how SUDs develop, are maintained, and what can positively or negatively influence the treatment of the disorder. Family systems theory and attachment theory are theoretical models that provide a framework for understanding how SUDs affect the family. In addition, understanding the current developmental stage a family is in helps inform assessment of impairment and determination of appropriate interventions. SUDs negatively affect emotional and behavioral patterns from the inception of the family, resulting in poor outcomes for the children and adults with SUDs.
